Technological stress and the intention to stay in organizations: Do the quality of life and work-home conflict mediate this relationship?

Abstract: This quantitative descriptive study discusses the effects of technostress on work-home conflict, on quality of life and on intention to stay in organizations among the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) users’ in their daily work. It is a descriptive and quantitative research with 473 respondents from both public and private companies. The results confirm the negative effects of technostress creators and the positive effects of technostress inhibitors in work-home conflict, quality of life, and the intention to stay in organizations. Finally, quality of life partially mediates the relationship between technostress and the intention to stay in the organizations.

Mediating Role of Professional Commitment in the Relationship Between Technostress and Organizational Stress, Individual Work Performance, and Independent Audit Quality

Abstract: This study aims to examine the mediating role of professional commitment in the relationship between technostress and organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality. Participants included 120 independent auditors (76.7% men, 23.3% women) who completed measures of personal technostress, personal commitment, organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality. The results indicated that technostress had a direct effect on professional commitment, organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality. Also, the professional commitment had a direct effect on organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality. Furthermore, the results showed that personal commitment mediated the association between technostress and organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality. These results suggest that personal commitment plays an important role in understanding the underlying mechanism between technostress and organizational stress, individual work performance, and independent audit quality.
